SA -SET.

Specification of Letters :atent.

Application filed July 23. 1919. Serial No. 312,743.

1'2; ail who/1t it may concern:

Be it known that T, Fnnnnmcn BOHLEN" mm, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of Oregon City, in the county of Clackamas and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Tmpiovements in Saw-Sets, of which the 01- lowing is a specification.

This invention relates to tools and particu arly to saw-sets. An object of this invention is to produce a novel means where b the saw setting guide may be moved and held in different positions of adjustment with relation to the tooth engaging member which is oscillated with relation to the guide so that teeth of saws may be acted on to bend the said teeth abruptly to increase the set or a modified action may be had by reason of the adjustment afforded for the guide.

A further object of this invention is to produce a saw-set having an adjustable member which will compensate so that the device can be used in connection with saws of different gages to insure that the saw shall be clamped firmly in place while the setting device is being operated.

The invention may also include means for insuring uniform action of the setting member so that it will be moved a predetermined distance at each operation of its actuating mechanism.

In describing the invention in detail ref erence will be had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of the specification wherein like characters denote correspond ing parts in the several views and in which drawing,

Figure 1 illustrates a sectional view of the saw-set, the operating mechanism thereof in elevation.

Fig. 2 illustrates the edge elevation of the said device.

In these drawings 5 denotes the body of the saw-set, 6 a base on which the movable plate 7 may be clamped at difierent positions of adjustment. The plate 7 has a slot 8 in it to receive a bolt 9 and the head 10 of the bolt rides on a shoulder 11 formed in the wall of the slot 8. Pressure is applied to the plate by the head of the bolt so as to hold it rigidly on the base.

The upper edge of the plate 7 at its inner edge is slotted as at 12 to create a clearance into which teeth of saws may be pressed by the setting member (to be hereinafter de scribed) and it is the position of the plate 7 with relation to the base that determines whether the teeth of the saw have a long or short set with relation to the blade.

The jaw 13 is formed integral with the body and overlies the base and it 'is provided with threaded aperture 1 1 for the reception of the screw 15. The inner end of the screw is swiveled in a plate 16 v-fhich constitutes the clamping member oi the jaw an d the said plate 16 is adjustable by means of the screw with relation to the plate 7 so that saws of different thicknesses can be clamped effectively by threading the screw in the jaw 13. Handles 17 and 18 are mounted on pivots 19 and 20 respectively and the said handles have heads 21 and respectively. Teeth 23 of the head 21 mesh with the teeth '24 of the head so that when the handles are oscillated and their outer ends are pressed together power applied to them will afiect the operation oi? the setting device.

The handle 18 has a gage screw 25 threaded in it and the inner end of the said screw abuts the handle 17 so as to limit the movement of the handles toward each other and this screw terminates the throw of the setting member as will presently appear.

Lugs 26 and 2,7 projecting from the inner faces of the handles 17 and 18 form anchorages for a spring :28 which holds the handles apart and moves them apart when pressure has been removed from the handles during their imuiipulation.

The saw-setting plunger or hammer 29 is formed on the end of a lever 30 and the lever is mounted on a pivot 31 so that the Saw-setting mechanism will be in operative relation to the plate 7 The lever 30 terminates at one end in a tooth segment 32 which is engaged by the tooth 23 of the head '21 and as the handle 17 is oscillated the lever 30 is oscillated and the setting member is moved into and out of engagement with the teeth of a saw carried by the plate 7 and held thereon, as stated, by the clamping member.

I claim:

1. In a saw-set, a body having a base, a plate slidable on the base, said plate having a slot, a shoulder formed on the wall oi the slot, a bolt extending through the base and having its head engaging said shoulder. means for drawing the head of the bolt against the said shoulder for holding the plate at different positions of adjustment, a

clamping member coasting with the plate t'orholdmga saw at different positions thereon, said plate having a slot creating a clearance for saw teeth and means adapted to act on saw teeth for slot.

2. In a saw-set, a body, a plate having a slot creating a clearance for saw teeth, means for holding the plate at different po-. sitions of adjustment, a clamping member coasting with the plate, means for holding the clamping member at different positions oi. adjustment, a saw-setting member comprisinga lever, handles having heads pivotall-y mounted on the body interengaging teeth on the said heads, a tooth segment at the end or" the lever and means for oscillatively mounting the said lever whereby the tooth segment thereof engages the teeth of pressing them into the said one of the heads and the opposite end of said lever is in operative relation to the plate.

3. In a saw-set, a body having a base, a plate adiustable on the said base, means for holding the said plate at difierent positions, a clamping member for holding a saw on the said plate, handles, means for pivotally mounting the the said handles having interengaging teeth, a saw-setting member consisting of alever provided at one end with a tooth segment adapted to engage the teeth of one of the heads, the opposite end of the said lever terminating in a saw tooth engaging member at an angle with relation to the iii-st mentioned end and means for pivotally mounting the said lever on the said body.
